Newborn, Bronze, 60cm high, 25cm wide, 15cm deep, Body, Baby, Figurative sculpture

This piece is a figurative bronze sculpture. It captures the energy and vulnerability of a new born baby in a striking pose.

The infant lies on its back yet balances upright on one foot, giving the figure a sense of movement and tension. Both arms reach upward, while one leg is lifted as the baby cries out. The sculptor emphasizes anatomical accuracy, with delicate shaping of the head, limbs, and torso.

Certain areas of the back and limbs are intentionally cut away, revealing the hollow interior. The edges of these openings are jagged, adding contrast to the smooth surfaces and creating a sense of fragility. Despite these voids, the figure remains fully readable and expressive.

The bronze surface is smoothed and polished, highlighting the sculpted details. Muscles, folds, and tiny features of the baby’s body are clearly visible, while the deep turquoise colouring enhances the piece’s depth and visual impact.

Overall, Newborn balances realism with abstraction. The pose, cut-out sections, and vivid bronze finish combine to convey both the strength and delicacy of new life, making the sculpture both emotive and visually captivating.
